Mike Tyson aka 'Iron Mike' aka "The baddest man on the plant" is a former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. He made his professional debut at the tender age of 18. A 'Tegata' is a traditional form of Japanese memorabilia that is reserved for only the most supreme athletes; Mike Tyson is the third Upper Deck Authenticated signee to have a Tegata piece produced of him. Utilizing handmade Japanese Hamada paper, Mike has inked his right hand in black and included an authentic Inkan stamp which aligns with the traditional craft. The overall keepsake, which measure 36" wide by 36" high, includes a 9.5" by 10.5" inset center upon which Tyson’s hand has inked and is surrounded by a matted mosaic background of action shots of Mike’s storied career. Mike performed the Tegata process with Upper Deck Authenticated officials and helped in the hand-crafting of 20 uniquely authentic stamps for the special release. His hand print and this piece are limited to 20, the age in which he became the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Tyson's autograph is guaranteed authenticated by virtue of Upper Deck's Five-Step Authentication Process.
